How to stop climate change making people hungry
An evening with Dr Helen Szoke
How can we reduce hunger at the same time that our changing climate is making access to food more difficult for millions around the world?
A staggering one in nine people go hungry every day. More extreme weather and changing seasons are impacting food availability in some of the world’s poorest communities.
Changes in rainfall and temperature, sea-level rise and more extreme weather – these are destroying crops, preventing others from growing, and leading to disasters that have both short and longer-term impacts for people’s livelihoods as well as reducing their access to food.
Join Helen in Launceston as she discusses the challenges we face in tackling the impacts of extreme weather events and changing seasons around the world. Most importantly, discover how you can become part of a truly global movement to grow a better future.
